Cervante´s Closet

[Cervantez]

:stoned:

OK Folks, Weed around the middle of atlantic ocean is not easy to find and when you find it, it is EXPENSIVE!!! So I decided start growing, thanks to my american friend Bill(fake) who tough me while I lived in america.
I live at an apartmente and it´s a small ap., so that´s why It is kind of small.
I´ve made this cabinet closet eith months ago, only six months growing, had only one good crop. I consider myself a beginer, still learning how to do the right things. What do you guys think I´m using four 25 watt fluorescent lamps at the bottom, for the veg stage. These are left 24 hs on. At the top I ´ve started with a 400w HPS but it was too hot, so i am running a 250w HPS, it is doing good I believe....the cabinet it´s full of reflective material. Please tell me what you guys think! My mother plant it is a Jack Herer from nirvana, she is huge now and now i hope the clones do good cause i´m moving her upstairs, let´s say that!

How it works: At the bottom you can see this picture has a dark screen with the white thing around it, that white thing is silicone to seal the intake of air, the dark thing is women´s leg stuff (girls use it on the legs) :) don´t know how it is called in english!! At the top there is three 45w exaust fans, that 2 of them are turned on during the day and of at night. The third one is left on during the night only. So the exaust change air and at the same time cool the HPS bulb. There is a glass with an open spot at the size of the passive intake between the HPS bulb forcing the air to pass though the whole lamp. I can post more pictures later on..the wine bottle is so you guys have the idea of the real size.

Oh my plant is too big to remain down there, my clones look good so I´ve decided to start trainig her at my new net!!!:jointsmile::hippy:It looks like a
HALF STADIUM net, like a football(soccer) goal net!!!!:stoned: I wish my Azores soccer team had a Stadium like that!
She is still veging, i want to teach her a bit before start to flower!!!And i want to make shure i have rooted clones before flowering....!

[Cervantez]

How it is with the plant without the HPS light turned on, then there is THE GUARDIAN :D of the closet, than the light on with my six month old mother

[Cervantez]

Let´s push her up a little bit and say GO BABY!!!!!!!:jointsmile:
I also took pics of my pet bottles, these are the CO2 generators of the closet, made of two glasses of sugar, 11-15 grams of yeast and a tea spoon of carbon bicarbonate (i hope it that way in english) doesn´t last for many many days but it works good for a couple of weeks and it´s cheap and a good solution for my small space. I am sorry if there is much english mistakes, I speak portuguese as first language, but it is understandable!!!!! :smokin:
Tell me you gyus what you think !!!!

[AR15]

Nice pics man. And no need to apologize about the English, it's not bad and I can easily understand you (I've seen much, much worse, trust me).

I don't know that much about growing, I'm just trying to learn. Just curious, what's the net for? Is that support for the plants once they start getting bigger and heavier?

[keeko]

this is looking like a great grow. good job on tying your plants down:thumbsup:

[Cervantez]

Thanks bro!! ar15, the net is good for growing Sativa Varieties that are too tall to go indoors, so you teach her over the net, the plant is bigger than it looks like.. Another reason for using SCROG is so people can have bigger yields, a greater crop and harvest. My plant is getting bigger soon i´will post more pics. !

[BUZz UK]

nice grow Cervantez dude, it looks really healthy, it actually looks like a little tree, lol. hope it buds well...

[Cervantez]

OMG: I'm not a first timer, but yes, I'm a begginer who has read the book of Ed Rosenthal Sucess Indoors and many others from Jorge Cervantes. By the way I personaly would love if in my country and over the world people became FIRST TIMERS, because more and more people would have a chance to smoke real good mj, as well the prices drop!
BuZz, thanx bro , right now it;s having a little iron deficiency i think, the leaves are turning yellow from the begining of the leave to the top.... tring to fix that before post more pics........update coming

[Cervantez]

[stinkyattic]

That bonsai-looking plant is a beauty.
I like the creativity in your grow too.

[Cervantez]

Thanx stinky, this plant you helped survived bro, this grow is dedicated to the comunity. I was having a problem with the leaves turning yellow, but after some reading I flushed my plant and now it´s WAY BETTER It´s going good now its under 12 hours to start flowering...this pics are frow a few days ago.....

[Cervantez]

MORE PICTURES...Please tell me what do you think, !!!!

[Cervantez]

ops, sorry than, didn´t kbow that stinky was a girl.!!!!Thanks Sister!! YEP thehump I live here, Azores, this is a great place to live, there is pretty women, nice beaches and a great culture. The temp inside the cabinet is around 75-77 F. upwards and aroud 70 at the bottom, were the plnts are vegging.....I use a 250wHPS, it is not a 400w !!! I used to have a 400w, but at the summer time it was getting to hot, even runing the light at nigh time .. and since i have reflective material all over the place, 250 w is all right for me. ( that is what i think )
Well, right now my baby is showing the first pistils, soon I will post the update pics,
see you folks

Hey Cervantez, nice grow. Very inventive. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if that netting was to keep the canopy in a stadium shape, or is it just to have something to tie the plants to, or both. When the plants really start stretching, isn't there a problem with the plants pushing the netting up, or out of position?

And don't worry about your english. It's not perfect, but it's better than many people who have english as their first language.

[Cervantez]

Hey oppie, you have to 'lead' the plant through the net, what I mean is that once the plant has streched upwards, you just grab the stem and curl under and under how many times its takes so you keep the canopy even, got it? Hope so.

[Cervantez]

Hello folks!!!!!, it is time for some updates pictures. These plants under the fluoroscent lights are 24hrs on light. They are veg. The small ones are clones from the plant that is above flowering. The sprouts are from female seeds, a strain called Cinnamon. The big leaf ones are from a local weed, dont know if they are any good producers at all.

[Cervantez]

Here it goes my flowering baby, its been three weeks and a half under 12 on 12 off, it did not covered the whole net, but i think it is not bad for the first time im doing it. For the next grow I will use two plants instead of only one covering the net.!! Making mistakes and learning..

[Cervantez]

More pics, tell me what you think guys!!!!!The big leaf ones are also seeds from a local weed, the bid one is looking like a male cause it growws too fast!!! Got to keep an eye on this one so I do not fuck up my female with seeds.

[driftmaster]

bro i would defintily start off with LST and instead of that soccer net stuff i would invest in some 2''x2'' chicken wire. personally i dont think that the soccer net is gonna be strong enough to hold the weight of those nuggs properly....but thats my 2 cents

love peace and pussy grease...

drift

[Opie Yutts]

I don't really see a problem, as long as the net is secured.
